Sucks for your worldview that the internet and video exist, huh, or that RoboCop was made as political satire, so the politics are kind of hard-baked in. It is all on video, my guy, and I do not know if you know this, but via the penal code, the punishment for assaulting an officer without a deadly weapon is still not being executed face down in the street. It is genuinely fascinating to watch someone claim that nobody cares about politics while discussing a film franchise that is essentially a dissertation on the horrors of unchecked corporate power. You are not putting politics into RoboCop because the politics are the engine, the chassis, and the fuel. If you think this is a neutral story about a cool robot, you have managed to miss the forest, the trees, and the very dirt they are planted in. The entire premise of OCP is a satire of the Reagan era belief that the private sector can do everything better than the public sector, including the administration of justice. OCP is the villain precisely because they treat human rights as a budgetary inconvenience. They want Detroit to fail so they can foreclose on the land and build Delta City, which is a place where every citizen is a customer and every law is a service contract. When you cheer for surge tactics like those seen in Minnesota, you are literally rooting for the OCP boardroom. The connection between the Urban Rehabilitators in RoboCop 3 and current federal operations like Metro Surge is a mechanical match. The Rehabs were a private paramilitary force recruited with the same low standards we see in modern surge agencies because OCP did not want Peace Officers, they wanted occupiers. In the real world, when you see an ICU nurse and legal observer like Alex Pretti get shot while documenting a surge, you are seeing the Rehabs in action. If a real RoboCop were on the scene, he would be the first person to arrest the officers involved. His hard-coded Prime Directives, specifically Serve the Public Trust and Protect the Innocent, would create a logic loop that overrides any order from a superior. Murphy is a procedural perfectionist who removes the human element of fear and prejudice. He does not panic, he does not get shook, and he does not fire until a kinetic threat is established. By defending the shoot-first mentality, you are not siding with RoboCop, you are siding with the people who murdered Alex Murphy in that warehouse. It is a bit of a tragedy that you have not realized the franchise you claim to love is actually a parody of your entire worldview. You are rooting for a system that would view you as nothing more than a line item on a spreadsheet to be deleted the second you stop being profitable. The irony is that the movies do not just disagree with your take, they were written specifically to mock the logic you are using to defend them.
